Veteran singing star Della Reese has had a remarkable career. The gospel and popular song stylist has had regular TV drama appearances since the 1970s, and reached a whole new audience in the sentimental 1994 TV series Touched By an Angel. She initially shows a crustier side in this rural melodrama as she defends her right to live in a cottage on land newly inherited by yuppie sisters Meredith Baxter and Patricia Heaton. But things return to sweetness and light once the sisters agree to help Reese track down her long-lost son. Anna Chlumsky proves there's life after My Girl, but, overall, this is the mildest of weepies.

Quarreled sisters; Sarah and Wanda inherit property from their mother. It has always belonged to the family. Sarah insists on selling it as soon as possible because she has many difficulties. She goes there with her daughter; Gina. Wanda, on the other hand, wants to keep the property in family. They soon discover that it's not abandoned. Old lady, Lilly Cooper has been living there for many years and doesn't want to leave the house, at least, not as long as she can meet her son.
